Idiocracy

I saw a movie a while back, it was a outrageous over the top take on what America will be like in 500 years. The movie was called Idiocracy and was written and directed by Mike Judge the man behind 'Beevis and Butthead' and 'King of the Hill'. It starred Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph. The whole premise of the movie revolved around American people becoming dumber and dumber over the centuries, instead of smarter and smarter. When I watched it for the first time I thought it was ok, a little much -but cool. Now that I see what this debate on healthcare has become, I can truly see something like that happening in the near future.

This is just my opinion, but there is a element in this country that have figured out how to manipulate the less bright amongst us. These people follow Sarah Palin and the Birther Groups -who think President Obama was born in Kenya, and shouldn't be President. What is disturbing about this is that these people are the ones buying all the guns. I think they want to try to bully the rest of the country out of healthcare, they think Democrats are scared of them. This healthcare debate and vote are going to be a huge crossroads for this country, I'm interested to see how all this plays out.

A big problem that's facing the American people is the media/press let this nonsense go unchecked. The only news outlet I've seen call Palin to the carpet, concerning her Facebook rant about Obama's supposed -Death Panels was ABC NEWS who held their their viewers hands and explained to them that it was all a big lie, no Death Panels.

What is going on concerning all the disinformation being dissipated is a STRATEGY. People have to understand these things, the people behind this feel that their losing control, checks may stop coming in. A tactic in the larger strategy of misinforming their constituents is just trying to stop the debate among people who want to discuss healthcare. That to me is a new low, the more and more I see this, it's proves Idiocracy exists. Mike Judge is somewhere saying- "I told you so".

Garden Tip: Something real easy, but something people never think about until it's too late. When you go out of town move your pots on the deck and on the front porch out of the sun into the shade. You can't imagine how that could be the difference between a dead plant and a plant just wilted a bit.
